Picked up Fuzz then met Skelly, Fuller and Chadman at the Northglenn park. It was in the mid 30s, but it felt even colder. Must have been some humidity in the air. There was 3 other people at the park, some other Team Pain park builders and an Arvada ATF machine. Warming up was straight up embarrassing with those dudes there. It was cool having to park to just 8 people, but everyone else was ripping so hard it was hard to find the will to warm up. But it happened. Fuzz did his first ollie in months over the cheese wedge gap right away. Skelly says he was just cruising, but I saw him ripping all over the place. Chadman did a huge back 180 over the hip as well as a bolts biggie heel. I’ll skip ahead to the goods. Everyone but Dave, Chad and I started skating the pool. They were all ripping when I would look over and Skelly had DRI/Slayer cranking out of his boom box. Dave and I tried the cheese wedge gap for awhile, but couldn’t commit. Chadman tried to hype us with a hardflip, but he couldn’t get it. We all skated the bowl after awhile. The Team Painers left. Dave, Skelly and Jack were still killing the bowl so we joined them. Chadman slid out and slammed into the vert wall. Ouch. Fuzz did a fakie tail stall to sal flip back to tail. So sick! Chadman left. Dave and I were the only ones cruising the street area and I was finally feeling warmed up and having a blast. I got a line with a bigflip on the flat bank and then came back around and noseslid the big hubba. I’ve never tried that one before so I was really hyped. Also got a kickflip to fakie and a fakie flip on the flat bank. Fuller was doing some rad lines where he would manual the pyramid up top, ollie up the step up, do some grind on the little qps and then tried back lip to fakie on the weird qp. I also forced myself to do some ollies both ways over the hip. They were bad, but at least I finally tried some. Then the lights shut off. First time at a park in awhile, should probably do that more often. Fun crew too.
